A moving cinematic experience about departure, guilt, and the quiet strength of the way
On 2026-08-26 at 20:15, filmforum Duisburg will show The Camino Therapy - Find Your Way, a 113-minute film rated FSK-12 by Yann Samuell, which tells the story of a young and existential journey: a juvenile delinquent and a teacher find themselves on the Camino de Santiago in a constellation that aims at rehabilitation, self-examination, and inner movement. The screening takes place in the traditional Haus am Dellplatz, which has stood for decades as a venue for intense art-house cinema with its special atmosphere.

The material: a pilgrimage as a dramatic test
The story relies on the tension between the outer journey and inner upheaval. The path is here read not as mere landscape, but as a dramatic space: a gesture of departure, a walk through doubt, a slow groping for a new order. Reviews highlight that the film focuses less on spiritual glorification and more on the arduous work on oneself; at the same time, the conventional dramaturgy is refined by the lead actors.

Staging and impact
Yann Samuell works with a clear emotional line: shock, friction, approach, hope. It is exactly this strength that makes this stage experience in cinema format impactful, as the images unleash their power not through pathos, but through a focus on characters who cannot get past each other and themselves. Alexandra Lamy and Julien Le Berre carry this movement with palpable tension; their characters remain vulnerable, edgy, and at the same time open to change.
